Arber Xhekaj skated with the extras again this morning: don’t expect him tonight!

This morning, the Canadiens had no practice on the menu.

However, as is customary, the extra players – those who won’t be playing tonight’s game – can still jump on the ice to stretch their legs.

Jakub Dobes, Michael Pezzetta, Oliver Kapanen and Arber Xhekaj were present. This leads us to believe that, unsurprisingly, Martin St-Louis has no intention of changing his line-up for tonight’s game.

I don’t expect a change in the trio, either.

Details to come…
